Who: Thoroughbreds – Francesco Rules
What: Horse Racing Betting Tips – The $75,000 Pennsylvania
Where: Parx Racing
When: Saturday, December 10th
Sometimes to sharpen skills, online wagering sports players need to look outside the box and that brings us to the 7-furlong Pennsylvania Nursery for state-bred 2-year-olds in the City of Brotherly Love.
The Parx Racing feature on Saturday offers a $75,000 purse and 9 will face the starters.
From the rail out, Francesco Rules has never run a bad race. He has proven he can be placed anywhere and still perform, has a right to have a solid career as kin to 7-time winner and near $225,000 earner Wild Cat Mesa and he was flattered when the horse that beat him two races back won a $75,000 stakes next out by 6 lengths as the prohibitive chalk.
Noifswhatsorbuts is the more powerful half of the Randy Allen entry and he looked good winning in the slop last time. The bad news is that he was just boosting the rail runner, who beat him easily in the November debut.
Traffic Light started his career in fine fashion but regressed badly in last on a strip he may not have cared for very much. Connections have high expectations for this guy since he is a half brother to Grade 2 winner and over $450,000 earner Simply Splendid.
Legendofsparticus shocked at 18-1 in the sports betting debut but regressed badly at Laurel, then ran around the track when whipped by the rail rival.
Bellamy Express had legit trouble in his debut when stumbling at the break but stretched out successfully when he controlled the pace setting very moderate splits at a mile. He’s looking at much more speed here and will likely be a late factor if at all.
Quotable is a grinder. His only sportsbooks win came at an abbreviated distance and he has been handled by a number of today’s rivals.
Ill Conceived added Lasix last time to no avail, now gets blinkers and could be more on the muscle. Could envision a trip where he will sit 5 or 6 lengths off the pace hoping the race falls apart.
Runnin Bull is in a slump. He was taxed graduating in July and has not won since. Out of the money the other time at this distance, this guy has a lot of work to do to match top kin Showmeitall, who won a Grade 2 on way to over $300,000 career.
Drawn outside is Pollard’s Boy, a double winner at Penn National. His connections thought enough of him to try a stakes at Aqueduct last time when wide every step.
Look for it to unfold like this: Traffic Light will be sent hard trying to steal the race but the two inside horses Francesco Rules and Noifswhatsorbuts will be in full pursuit.
The rest of the field will be in the next flight and will likely lose contact.
At the top of the lane, Traffic Light sees red and stops while Francesco Rules gets the ideal 3-hole trip and nails Noifswhatsorbuts at the wire.
Take 5-2 or more with Francesco Rules and good luck.
